gets burs in his tail, goes with a lower
grade of dogs, and it IS feared that he is
beginning to take an interest in oltics.

IL tie Editor If the Times:
hope. sir, you will find space in your
paper TO insert a few lines on the Nir-
ginia debt question ] might write pages,
but will cOnfine my remarks within a
narrow compass.
% How IS it that people who from
their position and influence in Virginia
can materially assist in directing public
opinion towards honesty and fair dealing,
endeavOr TO turn il the opposite way Let
me give an example \ prominent Viz
ginian came over TO London some three
years rgo, and asked TO be allowed TO APP
pear before the Virginia Committee Of the
Council of Foreign BOndhOlders. lie then
stated that Virginia could pay every
penny of her debt, and that he felt deeply
Inundated at the course she had chosen
10 adopt. The revenue of the state has
been augmented since then the assess
ment of 1885 showed an increase of fifty
five million of dollars in taxable values.
Had Virginia acted fairly she would by
this time have been one of the most pros
porous Of the Southern States, but Eng

holders of Nirgina's bonds are treated so
shamefully,
2l Why the bondholders' proposal at
the late conference was not accepted !
cannot possibly understand. Surely to
give up half of their righteous claim is
sufficient concession In recent issue
of your paper ] see you appeal TO the
Young men of Virginia to re-establish her
once untarnlshed reputation Why APP
peal to the young only; | should appeal
TO the young, middle-aged, and old-in
fact, to anobody and everybody who val
ues his country above his party; to all
who love Virginia better than mere
political caucus. Let them recall the
speech Of Governor Walker Il believe il
was when he addressed the Legislature
after the war was over. Ii made such
an impression ON me that ] still remcm-
Der il. He said We shall pay every
